66 GEARS CHECKING AND READJUSTING
BATTERY
A new, fully charged battery allows you to ride approx.
1,000 km (620 miles). An about 25 % charged battery
still runs approx. 250 km (150 miles).
With a weak battery the front derailleur is the first
component to stop working, followed by the rear de-
railleur. In this condition you can still ride some more
kilometres and shift with the rear derailleur. The bat-
tery should, however, be recharged as soon as pos-
sible. When the battery is empty the rear derailleur
remains in the previously chosen gear. Shifting into
another gear is impossible from that moment on!
You can check the battery's state of charge at any
time. Push one of the control buttons and hold it 0.5
seconds at least. The LED on the control unit indi-
cates the state of charge:
- green light is one for about 2 seconds:
battery's state of charge 100 %
- green light blinks 5 times:
battery's state of charge about 50 %
- red light is one for about 2 seconds:
battery's state of charge about 25 %
- red light blinks 5 times:
battery's state of charge empty
Over time, the capacity of the battery will degrade
and so will the distance you will be able to ride. This
process is inevitable. When the achievable distance
you will be able to ride no longer meets your require-
ments, you must replace the battery.

Recharge the battery only with the charger
delivered together with the battery!
Keep a nearly charged battery (50 % or
more) that is not used for a longer period
of time in a dry, cool place and out of the reach of
children. After six month at the latest you should
check the state of charge. Mount the protective
cover on the battery's contact area prior to stor-
age.
Recharging the (empty) battery will take
i
about 1.5 hours.

CHAIN MAINTENANCE

It still holds true that proper lubrication makes for
enjoyable riding. What counts is, however, not the
quantity, but the distribution and regular application
of lubricant.
Clean your chain from dirt and lubricant with an oily
rag from time to time. There is no need to use spe-
cial degreasers.
Having cleaned the chain as thoroughly as possible,
apply chain oil, wax or grease to the chain links.
To lubricate the chain, drip the lubricant onto the
rollers while you turn the crank.
This done, pedal through several chain lengths and
then let the chain rest for a few minutes so that the
lubricant can disperse.
finally rub off excess lubricant with a rag so that it
does not spatter around or attract dirt during riding.
CHAIN GEARS
Clean the chain from dirt and oil with a rag
Clean the chain as thoroughly as possible and apply lubricant
for the sake of the environment, only use
i
biodegradable lubricants. Bear in mind
that some of the lubricant will always end up on
the ground, especially in wet conditions.
Make sure the braking surfaces of the rims
and the brake pads remain clear of lubri-
cants, as the brakes will fail otherwise!
